Number Talk 🔢➕➖➗✖️

Number Talk… What is it?

What is Numicon? What are Number Rods? What are Arrow Cards? These are all Numeracy resources/ strategies that we use in P4. Since the start of term we have becoming more confident in representing and showing the value of numbers using different resources/ strategies. Number Talk provides children the opportunity to do this but also to develop their mathematical language. It has also helped our p4 pupils to work cooperatively and to peer assess their partners work.

Every morning we start our Numeracy lesson with Number Talk as part of our mental maths. Today we have just introduced our 9th resource/ strategy, Ten Frames. The children grasped the concept of this strategy very well and were able to confidently show the value of numbers and talk about solutions.
